Jamie Lee Curtis – Then

Jamie Lee Curtis wasn’t exactly a fitness guru in the 80s but she did have one scene that made us believe that she could be one. She went onto star opposite John Travolta in the ’85 film Perfect based on the LA health club’s hype. There was an infamous workout scene that lasted twenty minutes and went down to become one of the most cringe-worthy scenes ever.

The former law student dropped out after the first semester when the acting bug hit her. Before her meme-worthy scene in Perfect, she first starred in the film, John Carpenter’s Halloween. 

The film went onto become a major success and then went onto the highest-grossing independent film of its time, achieving the status of the classic horror film. And that catapulted her career to greater heights. After her acting talent shone in Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis started receiving one movie role after another.
